The yarn is DK-weight GGH Wollywasch (100% superwash wool) worked at a sportweight-typical 6 stitches/inch (24 stitches/10cm) for extra warmth.

There’s more on the sweaters here, along with a link to download a PDF written by Donna Druchunas (who wrote Ethnic Knitting Discovery) and Debbie O’Neill (who knitted the two sweaters on the book’s cover) about designing your own Norwegian-style sweaters. (Access to the PDF requires either sign-up or log-in for a free Knitting Daily newsletter account.)

This publication isn’t part of a regular subscription to Interweave Knits and you’ll need to look for it specially in a yarn shop or on a newsstand.

The blog tour for Ethnic Knitting Discovery continues. There’s a great diversity of hosting blogs and post topics. I’m enjoying seeing what pops up each day.
